Unprofessional treatment

While the hotel room and location were as expected, the check-in experience made this a 1-star review:
I and my family arrived around 11:00pm on the check-in date with a confirmed reservation. At the hotel we were told that our reservation was really at another hotel and that we had to drive to that other hotel instead. A long discussion with the clerk, showing the reservation and asking for the manager yielded nothing, even though there did not seem to be a lot of guests. I then proceeded to call the booking agent's customer service and after 30 minutes on hold, just as I got a person on the phone, magically, a room was available.
The staff seems to be running some kind of scam and I recommend staying somewhere else.

Far away from the hotel zone, but a nice hotel

This hotel is located in downtown Cancun, few miles from the hotel zone. Although the locality is not so nice, the hotel itself is well worth the price. The room was clean and the staff was helpful. I will definitely recommend this hotel

Nice surprise

Clean place. They beginning cleaning early and clean ALL day. Workers seem to work long hours. Leisurely pace, not to worry, I was impressed. Kitchen is open til 11 am and then again all evening. Just order. The cook, full or energy, dancing around, very friendly. Desk speaks English. Many buses, and taxi's. VERY safe during the day. I did not go out @ night. Only one access into hotel. Safe. Across the street is a gas station. A regular 7-11! Hotdogs rolling on the grill. Everything to eat or drink. AND a tile shop across the street. Decorative bathroom sink bowls, etc. I bought a soap dish & they wrapped it solid. My room AC was the coldest I have ever seen. Cold air! My room had NO fridge or microwave. I took a blow dryer. Good HOT water. Regular American AC. And I mean they even "ruffled" the kleenex box paper with a bow. Actually, best folding show I have EVER seen, they folded & adorned everything that could be, and I have been in a lot of hotels! Give these guys a raise. They moved all the tables EVERY time they cleaned. Tile floors. I had a balcony room, and there was an currency exchanger ATM in the lobby. It was a GREAT value and I am glad I stayed there. I chose it because of the price. Oh, and there WAS a pool. With pretty blue tiles. Clean water. Actually larger than the picture. I also saw a hotel van. And they wash the comforters!!!!!!!!!! No wash cloths. (I always pack one.)

A small convenient hotel in Cancun city

All I needed was a place to park myself and my car. Terracaribe is an inexpensive, clean and convenient (to Isla Mujares) hotel. Definitely not the Ritz, but it has a small pool and a warm-tub. Ask for one of the rooms with a (small) balcony

Great for travel on budget

Like other reviews have said, the location is the weakness of this hotel. It is far from the hotel zone where all the fun is going on. But since my friends and I were on a budget, spending 120 pesos (about 10 US dollars)for a cab ride to the hotel zone was more affordable than paying 200 USD extra per person for a nicer hotel at a better location. It takes about 25 mins to get to the hotel zone. The cabs are plenty and we never have any problem finding one. If you're buying a tour, then the location is not so much of a problem because they will pick you up and drop you off at the hotel anyway.
The hotel is close to the ferry port to Isla Mujares. It was about 15 min walk from the hotel. Then we took the ferry for another 15-20 mins to the island where we spent a nice day snorkeling and walking around the downtown of the island.
The hotel, indeed, is clean. Room service is great. We always came back to our room at the end of each day to find it so spotlessly clean. Even our messy clothes were put in the right place for us. Very impressed. The food at the hotel was great. I had American breakfast there and absolutely loved it! The superior room was spacious and the AC worked well (to a point where I actually froze at night!)
It was overall a nice experience on a budget. It saved me probably 200 dollars for the whole trip of 5 nights 6 days -- adding up to 800 dollars for all four of us. So, if you come as a family and want a more economical vacation, this is possibly a good option for you.
However, the next time I go back, I probably will pick a hotel in the hotel zone :(

Terracaribe Cancun

I needed a hotel to sleep while I waited for my plane the next mourning. Too bad my stay was too short because the hotel invited me to spend more time. The hotel and the service was more than what I expected

Good

The receptionist received me in a bad mood. He was so rude, he wanted me to provide him my passport in order for him to get a copy so he could give me the room I had in my reservation. In addition the room that he gave me had blood on the floor. I asked him to changed me to another room the same night I had arrived, he did it in a bad mood.
